Using the Razz sit and go structure below a table of 8 players would be likely to play down to a winner in about the 2 hour mark, this is obviously dependant on how quick the game is dealt.

If you have only 6 players then you might want to add a little time onto each level. More than 8 and you are going to have to run two tables so the structure above might suit you better. Remember the structures suggested are only a guide and you will need to make obvious alterations dependings on how many players you have.
